Can’t be bothered with fussy saris? Diana Penty’s outfit will make your day

Where would you wear this?

If there’s one traditional outfit that every Indian woman can swear by, it’s got to be the sari. The Indian staple, which can be draped in more than 80 different ways, makes an appropriate choice for almost any occasion you could possibly think of. While one can wear simple cotton versions to work or even on flights, cocktail editions never look out of place at weddings and formal occasions, and the most traditional versions are always winners at milestone events. And with time, the sari is now getting a new-age, millennial-approved update. Diana Penty’s latest outfit serves as proof.

Busy promoting her new film Happy Phirr Bhag Jayegi, Penty stepped out recently in an Abraham & Thakore ensemble which is perfect for the woman who loves saris, but hates feeling constricted by the (sometimes) hard-to-manage silhouette. The quirky printed look comprised of a relaxed button-down shirt, matching palazzo-style trousers, and a draped fabric on top that created the illusion of sari. A look like Diana Penty’s is perfect for occasions where you know you’re going to be on your feet. The practical pick was styled with traditional silver jewellery (a favourite with everyone from Janhvi Kapoor to Alia Bhatt right now) and black Aprajita Toor sandals.

Palazzo saris like Diana Penty’s red black and beige version work everywhere from mehandi celebrations to laid back engagement parties. Add one similar to hers to your festive closet now!
